This seasons first descent – Hemsedal

Got my first four days of downhill skiing last week, two days with my colleagues and then two days with Espen and Anders. First picture of me waiting for the bus downtown Oslo last Wednesday resting at the bus stop tired of carrying my enormous bag and two pair of skis.

View from our cabin which was close to Skarsnuten Hotel. Nice weather and it seems to be plenty of snow, sadly not true. No reason doing off-piste, hard and icy conditions with a lot of rocks.

Walking up to Radiohytta on Thursday, someone has forgotten their thermos there and some broken bottles of beer.

Not much snow at all, this picture taken the 3’rd of March, compared to the picture found at Skiinfo from the 15’th of May 2008, no reason to argue, Hemsedal is in desperat need for more snow.

Resting at Radiobollen

Cross country skiing on Thursday in nice weather, a bit to windy but apart from that very nice. Started from Holdeskaret, did Beihovdløpya, then later Systerskarløypa. The following pictures taken while heading up to what I guess would be Systerskaret. The track is not in mint conditions I would say, but still it was no problem at that point, but while heading trough Systerskaret and down on the other side it was bad. Very bad snow conditions, rocks and such made it hard to ski downhill with my cross country skis, so I do not recommend that track this year.

Looking closely you should see the track

Pictures from Såhaug on Friday. Windy conditions, but still nice.

In need of a bike?

At work this morning while locking my own bike I noticed this Trek with belt drive next to mine. It was locked, but it would not be hard to open it since the key was in the lock…

Kinda crazy using that bike with those wheels today, due to all the ice on the road.

Got a Porsche and a caravan and don’t know what to do?

Always someone out there able to help you, if you for instance have a Porsche and need to pull a caravan… check out http://www.willwoodsystem.com/

As crazy as the Koenigsegg Agera R and Thule Lightning

But still, maybe not so crazy after all, all the time Jon Olson has mounted a skibox on his Lamborghini Murcialago, the LP 670-4 SV Olsson Winter edition version, see pictures at http://www.jon-olsson.com/?p=1063
